$20 per hour for 1 child

I am an aunt to 4 girls and 2 boys, ranging from the ages of 4-16. Being that I first became an aunt at 8 years old, I grew up helping care for all ages. I love spending time with my nieces and nephews, especially the younger kids. Additionally, I grew up with both dogs and cats of all temperaments. I also occasionally care for a pair of Peterbald cats when the owners are out of town, which also includes housesitting. I have two bachelor degrees from NAU and currently work full time for a law firm. I am a very organized individual and always punctual. I love to keep a clean home and happy animals, and love spending time with my nieces and nephews. I would love to pass along the love to your household!

$24 per hour for 1 child

Hello everyone! My name is Amy. I am new to the app. I have been a special needs caregiver for 15 years. Currently I help manage a special needs group home. I’m comfortable with all ages, as well as pets (I have 2 dogs, 1 cat). I’m good with running errands, light housework, meal making, feeding, bathing, changing diapers, home organization, homework assistance, pet care, driving, sports, activities, etc. I coach soccer for my stepkids and I love keeping kids active. I’m CPR/First Aid certified as well as certified as a caregiver. I am looking to make a change from my special needs group home career into nannying while I go back to school to receive my Masters. I’m reliable, responsible, patient, kind and understanding. My top priority is to make sure your child feels safe, happy and cared for. References available. I look forward to meeting you soon! :)

During College, I started babysitting. These were occasional opportunities. I also have multiple nieces and nephews I lived with throughout my life. I grew up in Rwanda so helping your family comes naturally. I love children. I can speak French and cook.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
